Bonfyre, a mobile app to plan, capture and share experiences with the people that matter, debuts today at DEMO Fall 2012, Santa Clara, CA, as a Showcase Sponsor. The app allows users to privately plan events, chat, share photos and create group photo streams. Bonfyre is built around experiences rather than static circles or newsfeeds. It’s what mobile sharing should be – private, simple and beautiful.

"Bonfyre redefines sharing in a way that more accurately reflects how people live real life: through shared memories," said Jim McKelvey, co-founder of Square and a member of Bonfyre's advisory board. "This focus makes Bonfyre a dynamic social graph built around experiences rather than an accumulation of connections that become less relevant over time."
